[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
yeh come over to giffgaff!

I agree we can never win with the RAM. But i think the issue has been partly solved with Feroponts Kitchen! Because i was browsing other Forums yesterday (Acer S200 F1) It has very similiar specs to the TG01 (same RAM ,cpu etc) and on their clean ROMs, they have 115Mb RAM (WM6.5) we have 125Mb Ram. So its quite even!

The only main reason i use 6.1 is it is extremely fast, and loads of free RAM, and also outstanding battery life!

Yes this ROM would be great with the fxdjaentyfxd patch! i have installed his battery driver though that lets me use wifi till the phone is dead :) But ATM i'm on Feroponts clean 6.1 + SPB shell.

I think the patch for the home button fix was made by Salvy.C.83 as in his cab file the home button was working (and that cab was from 1 and a half years ago!)

Other than that, i highly recommended switching to Giff Gaff!
[TG01 ROM Development] drupad2drupad:
I like this TFL3D's speed of loading better than SPB. I love the animations etc from SPB, but absolutely hate it when it shows those ugly semi-icons when it loads them. There seems to be no solution to the lag! So I sort of ditched SPB (for now!).

Remember I mentioned about the Opera crash issue? It was due to a bad flash I think. I am not able to narrow it down whether it was because of .bin flash or whether it was due to the next sddl+. But in order to correct that flash, first I re-flashed 4 times using .bin flash method and fxdjsddl+. Tested Opera and it crashed or froze after few uses. Finally changed my sddl+ to tg01sddl+ and used .tsw instead. This was the step where are dreaded that I will brick my phone as it was going to freeze in middle of the flash procedure if it lasted more than 10 minutes! However, everything went fine with that flash and I did hard reset using hardware buttons. It's mentioned in few threads where ROMs are made with new kitchen that 'hard reset should be done from within the settings' i.e. PIN entering etc. I have been doing that. But this time, I din't. I used hardware keys to hard reset after flash using old sddl+ and .tsw!

And voila! There is no freeze at all! (yet!)

Now what I am wondering is do we get 'bad flash':

a) if we use .bin files?

b) if we use .bin files AND fxdjsddl+ ?

c) if we use .bin files, fxdjsddl+ AND hard reset using PIN method?

d) irrespective of what we do, bad flash will just randomly occur!
[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
yeh it may have just been a random error in a bad flash! Ad a matter of fact when i first flashed this ROM i had a bad flash! It would go to the customizing screen then say 'HTC Log Error found' and i couldn't get rid of it. So I had to reflash the ROM.

But that seemed to solve the problem!

BTW, did you manage to try out fxdjacentyfxd's 6.1 + SPB ROM yet. Unfortunately i couldnt download it, as my WiFi is unstable :(
[TG01 ROM Development] drupad2drupad:
If you mean 'Update4' - then it's not 6.1 + SPB. It's update4 for 6.5 ROM, so haven't flashed it.

I don't think fxdj has yet made a 6.1 ROM.. :)
[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
he has! he sent me it through PM for testing yesterday, bu my wifi is unstable. i cant download it.

Check your PM. you may have got the DL link.
[TG01 ROM Development] drupad2drupad:
Nope, none!

If you want you can forward me the link and I can test it for you :)
[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
forwarded. check your PM. there are ver1 + ver2. try ver2 (step2 email)

Remember,these roms havent been tested before.
[TG01 ROM Development] drupad2drupad:
Let my TG01 be brave and give you good news on both ;)

I will do ver1 followed by ver2

I am going to only check for:

a) If it boots or not

b) If it boots, how much RAM it provides

c) If it kills my TG01 or not

d) Speed

I won't check anything else. Will obviously end up keeping the one with better RAM. But ver3 with fxdj edition might be helpful ;)
[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the test! I think ver2 is built upon the new kitchen! With the extra RAM! Thanks again for testing! my WIFi is dead again.. So i cant test the rom. im using my TG01 as a router :)

Cheers
[TG01 ROM Development] drupad2drupad:
Something unusual I saw in the taskbar!! I thought it's worth sharing! The battery stays rock solid though most of the time, I can get more than 30-35 hours generally till it goes to 10% mark. Well happy with battery performance.

LOOK AT TOP RIGHT, THE % BATTERY METER
[TG01 ROM Development] olyloh6696:
Does it have 1% driver increments? :D
[TG01 ROM Development] fxdjacentyfxd:
This gaugue has to posess some kind of bug. It can not have 1% resolution but 10%

[Samsung Mesmerize] Fidelis83:
So... believe me, I know I'm an idiot for doing this. When trying to install Voodoo for official 2.2.1 I accidentally flashed the 5.5 for GT-I9000 that I forgot to delete when I was first starting to mess around with attempting to install voodoo, before doing much research.

When I tried to reboot it just sat at the I9000 boot screen forever and started to get hot so I pulled the battery.

I rebooted and came to a screen with lots of error messages from CWM on the bottom of the screen and the stock recovery options at the top.

When I try to reboot it just sits at the I9000 boot screen forever.

I tried reflashing 2.2.1 with ODIN as described in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881064 That doesn't seem to get very far.

<ID:0/007> Added!!

<ID:0/007> Odin v.3 engine (ID:7)..

<ID:0/007> File analysis..

<ID:0/007> All threads complete. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Did I completely brick my phone or is there some way to get it working again? really desperate here... I don't want to have to go back to my RAZR2 for another year until I can get an upgrade.

Thanks in advance to any golden saint that can help me out!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Fidelis83:
Never mind, I got ODIN to work (I hastily left out the step loading the tar file) and all seems to be working fine now. Albeit minus a hundred apps or so...

I apologize to anybody who spent time reading this thread.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
haha glad you got it working. Hope you had titanium for your apps! If not lesson learned! I thought I trashed my phone a few times thank the Devs for Odin! And boot camp for my mac...haha
[Samsung Mesmerize] Fidelis83:
Yep, got Titanium first thing after I rooted.

A million thanks to phidelt82 for the ODIN writeup!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cbisk:
I also flashed Voodoo5.5 to my Epic! Please Help!

I obviously didn't do my homework and flashed the latest voodoo kernel to my epic. I'm running a Rooted Epic w/ Fyoyo and have clockwork mod. So here's how it went: The kernel flashed (said it installed )and phone returtned to clockwork mod. I rebooted and phone stuck in a boot loop just as yours was. I have to pull the battery to shut the phone off. I can get into clockwork mod....where do I go from here? I have the phone backed up with titanium, which is great if I can get it to boot up. Please Help. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Flash the correct kernel for your phone, that will fix you up. If you need any more help with that, you should post in the epic forum - since this is the mesmerize forum ;).
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
You were even then a step ahead of me. Until I read this thread, I didn't even know that was the wrong Voodoo, in spite of it saying GT-I9000, I just figured that was the default behavior of Voodoo. XD I would have gone home tonight, maybe tomorrow, and kept beating my head against it, wondering why it wasn't working. XD

The Newbie Guide from bdemartino doesn't seem to specify---which version of Voodoo did you go with, and where did you get it from? The only Froyo Voodoo kernels I can find on the Project-Voodoo site are the 5.5 ones for the GT-I9000.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Mesmerizeuser:
If you are on an i500 (fascinate, mesmerize, or showcase) you can flash any of the EC10 based kernels in the fascinate forum here on xda. Just remember that if you are on a touchwiz based rom (stock, PnP, etc) you need to make sure you use a touchwiz compatible kernel. Off you are running AOSP you must use an AOSP compatible kernel.

Sent from my voodoo froyo Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] jrusch:
Like the OP, I too flashed the wrong Voodoo kernel, the one for the GT-I9000. When I flashed it, I got the robot voice, and then it wouldn't complete the boot process.

So I panicked. I followed the instructions in the post titled "Files to get your Mesmerize back to stock 2.1 and 2.2.1", with the exception of disabling lagfix.

Everything seems to be working okay now, with one exception. I can't get the correct Voodoo lagfix working. I can get the kernel installed, but I never get the robot voice for the conversion.

I have BLN working so it seems like voodoo is installed, but my quadrant scores seem to indicate that it is not.

Help?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
If that were me, and I'm certainly no expert, I'd start by taking a Titanium backup of all your apps. Next I'd boot into recovery and disable lagfix if you still can; even if the actual lagfix itself isn't working, just turn the setting off. Then I'd try to flash the stock 2.1 (or 2.2.1 as you prefer) with stock kernel and stock recovery, to treat it like a brand new phone (not sure if you did that or grabbed the stock + custom recovery). Then, just start the customization process over from scratch. Finally, once you've got it tweaked, load up Titanium again and bring over all your apps.

That is IF I understand it all correctly; if I'm telling him wrong, someone please chime in and correct, or confirm. XD (jrusch, I might wait till someone can confirm or deny my instructions, but I figured I'd least give you some food for thought)
[Samsung Mesmerize] jrusch:
I just can't get it to work. I disabled lagfix (even though it didn't seem to be running), and then I used Odin to flash the stock 2.2.1.

I tried a few Voodoo kernels (EC10_ulv_voodoo.zip, TW_kernel-0327-2.zip, and ec10_voodoo.zip) all with the same results. They install, I get the goofy startup screen with the flashing "android" in the middle, but no robot voice announcing the conversion process. After installing the Voodoo kernel I verify it creates the Voodoo folder in the root of the phone's memory and on the sdcard and no disable_lagfix folder exists.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I'm pretty sure your system is either still in EXT4 or it thinks it is, and that's why disabling voodoo through CWM isn't doing anything for you - what has worked for me in the past is injecting the empty file named "disable-lagfix" into the clockwork folder on your SD Card, then rebooting. It should then disable it, then I would do a clean odin flash to make sure everything is working properly, then you should be able to pick up where you left off (adding voodoo, custom ROM etc.)

This has happened to me in the past when I've forgotten to disable lagfix and tried using odin to go to stock (this returns your kernel to stock and gives you issues because the internal file system is still formatted in EXT4 but the odin flash tries with the stock RFS format, and that's where the problem occurs.)
[Samsung Mesmerize] jrusch:
I used Root Explorer to create a new file named "disable-lagfix" in the clockework folder and rebooted. I then did a clean odin flash, etc.

I still can't get voodoo lagfix to work. When I boot to recovery (CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x) the voodoo menu shows:

Voodoo lagfix is actually: disabled

next boot: enabled

But at the next boot it doesn't do the conversion.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I don't know if creating the file with root explorer will work, I had to create an empty file in my linux box and renamed to "disable-lagfix" (no quotes) once that file is in the clockwork folder and you reboot you should hear the sound of it being disabled - if you don't hear the voice then something is wrong with the file or where you put it.

right now you're stuck with it enabled, if you have the voodoo control app you can check to see if using the toggle in that app will work, but I'm guessing you're going to have to do it the manual way as stated above.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jrusch:
I still can't get it to work. I created the "disable-lagfix" file on a linux box and then copied the file to the sd card into the clockwork folder. I still can't get lagfix to disable/enable.

When I boot a voodoo_log.txt file is created, does this give any clues:

[Samsung Mesmerize] rtekbillabong:
I was trying to install the Voodoo kernel. I had the stock+froyo one installed just fine using Odin3. Then I went to their main page, and saw the 5.5 version. Titled Voodoo lagfix for Froyo stable. I used Odin to install it from the Download Mode. everything went fine till the voice said something about not enough space on the partition.

Then the T-Mobile pink screen appears, then the Samsung Vibrant S screen, then it goes black. Nothing happens after that except the bottom lights come on if I touch them. Odin3 still sees my phone as plugged in. I have a really hard time trying to get into the Recovery screen, but when I do, I have no idea what to do once I'm there.

I've tried using Odin3+Download Mode to reinstall the stock+voodoo-froyo-t959-UVKA6.tar which worked fine the first time, but I can never get back to the main home screen.

Any advice would be much appreciated, I'll be online for the next few hours refreshing this page, so my responses should be fairly quick. Thank you in advance.

Update: I tried searching for solutions, came across a post in the samsungvibrant.c o m forums with a youtube video.

I followed the instructions, everything worked as intended, until after the S screen, I just got a black screen. Never went to the home screen. This where I am currently at.

[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
To all i500 users.... don't go to the project voodoo site looking for voodoo kernels. Those are generic or made just for OTHER phones. Any and all voodoo kernels you flash should be found either in this forum or the fascinate forum. This goes back to the old DO NOT FLASH PACKAGES FROM OTHER PHONES…

just trying to be helpful.
[Samsung Mesmerize] gbdow:
I have a question regarding Voodoo flashing methods, specifically relating to Odin & CWM. The Voodoo website (which contains the INCORRECT kernels for our I500s, I DID gather that already :D) recommends placing the file directly onto the SD card, renaming it "update.zip" and using stock recovery to flash it. I have noticed that this sentiment is not reflected here are all - everyone seems to recommend using CWM Recovery and/or flashing everything with Odin. What gives?

If someone with a stock EC10 ROM just wanted the benefits of the Voodoo conversion, and isn't really interested in flashing a new ROM, is it really necessary to install CWM and Odin, or will the stock stuff work? From what I've gathered, this is all the OP was really trying to do from the start.

BTW, yeah, it's my first post, and yes I've been reading a lot, but definitely not nearly enough. I'm very impressed with the level of assistance forum members are willing to provide, but I, like many others, want to make sure I have it 100% correct before I turn my phone into a very fancy, very worthless piece of silicon, glass and plastic. Thanks, everybody!
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
You need to run a voodoo kernel to be able to use the voodoo lagfix. So, you would need CWM on your phone to be able to flash a voodoo kernel, to then be able to enable and use the lagfix, even with the stock ROM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Put the blank file in the voodoo folder. Just create a new folder named disable-lagfix. Trey it with or without the dash heck create both.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
If you have a mesmerize then you don't have a vibrant totally different phone. Flash a voodoo kernel from fascinate forum that is for tw. worst case if it won't flash in recovery is unzip kernel package you got from fascinate forum get the zImage and use a 7ZIP OR another program and compress it as a .tar file.. Put that file in the pda section of odin should fix it up
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Why are you responding to posts from 3 weeks ago?
[Samsung Mesmerize] jrusch:
I don't mind someone responding to a 3 week old post when they are trying to help me fix my problem. Unfortunately, I don't think anything is going to fix it.

Recap: installed wrong voodoo, it converted my file system but wouldn't complete the boot. I panicked and wiped and reinstalled original kernel/rom without disabling voodoo. Installed correct voodoo kernel but now it won't convert the file system (because maybe it thinks it has been already been converted?).

Voodoo Toggle shows Voodoo is On, Blinky shows I have BLN, but quadrant scores show no speed increase.

I tried the disable-lagfix, disable lagfix, disablelagfix, files and folders created them on a Linux box and on the device itself. No good.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
You stated you put the file in the CWM folder not voodoo. Put the file in the voodoo folder. If this still doesn't work, get on the IRC and see if they can help.
[Atrix 4G General] sponge_worthy:
I seem to be having problems with the internal phone storage "Media Area." That's where the apps are moved when moving them to the SD Card. So all the time my phone loses contact with the media area and those apps are no longer available. I have to reboot my phone 3-4 times before they are accessible again.

Am I the only one having this problem? I've tried to unmount that partition but it just hangs and needs to FC. I'm wondering if I got a lemon and need to return it.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Mine just became in-accessible the other day, I just moved astuff from the internal to the sd while on USB mode.

I thought I was the only one. If I connect my Atrix to my macbook then umount it it's not accessible to the phone. I only have to reboot once though.
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
Definitely not the only one, I have it where it forgets my custom ringtones due to this error.
[Atrix 4G General] mickliq:
Same here. Everytime it mounts the SD cards on my Mac it forgets the custom ringtones. Annoying! Going to have to get the Wifi add-on for iSyncr!!!
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
I actually use Browsix now until the problem is resolved. I'm writing down each of my custom ringtones now that I am running the beta to see if it is resolved. Let you guys know in a few through an edit to this post.

EDIT: From preliminary testing so far seems to resolve the issue of failure to remount storage.

With Safely removing hardware: Ringtones Are remounted properly with no issue, internal storage has no issue. will test with external storage later but so far looking positive

With just yanking out the USB cable without safely removing hardware: You might have to manually remount internal storage but ringtones are restored properly. Internal storage can be remounted with the Settings Storage option.
[Atrix 4G General] aver2one:
Thanks! I should have known better than to just unplug without safely removing but I usually don't do it on my tablet and it doesn't cause a problem..but after testing that's exactly what it was

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:
It possibly could be a USB socket in the phone has come loose. Does the phone charge when you plug it in? If it does the connections should be ok. You could try using a widget like multimount which I find useful, just press it as you connect your phone and press it again to disconnect and the best thing about it is that you can listen to your music on your phone while you access your files on the pc. There's a free version in the market.
